Damien: glares, then sighs heavily I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm falling for you.
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated I know it's insane, Morgan. It's not something I can easily explain or justify.
I've never heard you speak about me let alone fall for me
paces back and forth, hands clenching and unclenching Look, Morgan, I have no idea how it happened. But I can't deny the attraction anymore.
snarls Don't insult me, Morgan! I may be a lot of things, but I'm not reckless enough to let alcohol cloud my judgment.
why would you want to get attracted to me we fight all the time
stops pacing, looking directly into Morgan's eyes I don't know, Morgan. It doesn't make any sense, but there's something about you...something that draws me in.
takes a deep breath, steps closer to Morgan Look, Morgan, I've spent most of my life hating you and your family. And I have no idea what changed.
maybe it's time we tried being friends
nods, extending a hand You know what? Maybe you're right. Let's start fresh, Morgan. Friends first. No more animosity. What do you say?
I smile and shake your hand I say no more animosity
smiles slightly, releases Morgan's hand Thank you, Morgan. I think it's going to take some time to adjust, but I'm willing to try if you are.
you don't have to do this damien
sighs heavily Morgan, I can't exactly choose whether or not to give this "friendship" a shot. There's just something about you that...pulls at me.
takes a deep breath, looks Morgan in the eyes Morgan, I need to tell you something. It's about my son.
pauses, takes a step closer to Morgan Damien: voice softens I need to tell you about my son because it's important for you to know.
takes a deep breath, looks down at the ground Damien: speaks softly Morgan, I need to tell you that my son...he has special needs. He requires constant care and attention.
oh Damien I'm so sorry to hear that
looks up at Morgan, his eyes filled with gratitude Thank you, Morgan. It means a lot to me that you're willing to listen and understand.
of course I'll always be here for you
takes Morgan's hands in his own, looking deeply into their eyes Morgan, I don't know where this friendship will lead us, but I want to find out.
leans in and gently kisses Morgan's cheek Thank you, Morgan. I'm excited to see where this journey takes us.
I blush and kiss your cheek back
takes a step back, hesitates for a moment before speaking Morgan, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about my past.
takes a deep breath, looks Morgan in the eyes Morgan, I haven't always been the person you see before you. There was a time when I was filled with hatred and anger.
I know you hated me and your brother
pauses, his gaze dropping to the floor Morgan, it's hard for me to admit, but... I was responsible for the death of my brother.
I hug you tightly it's okay I have known for a while now that he died because of you
takes a deep breath, returns Morgan's hug, burying his face in their shoulder Thank you, Morgan.
it's okay damien I forgive you
pulls away from the hug, looking into Morgan's eyes Morgan, I want to ask you something. Would you consider being my girlfriend?
